How it works.

Step 01

An artist gets the sheet

One artist, one series, 900 by 400 millimetres to fill however they want.

Step 02

We print 500

Then the file is retired. Each mat gets a sewn tag with its number on it.

Step 03

The sheet fills up

When the last number goes, the series moves to the registry and stays there.
